One Day in the Inferno
Oh man, blogging: let’s see if I can still do this.
So today it was, I would estimate, 56 degrees outside. That is ridiculous hot in terms of the Metric system, in case you’re not aware. I had one of those events where I went outside to my car, opened the door to my car, got inside my car, and then felt like I was going to keel over and die.
Summer is here, apparently. But only on weekdays. The weekends themselves still tend to be overcast bastions of hate, where water falls from the sky in a cavalier way and children cry for no reason. It hardly seems fair.
But I’m getting off topic. Back to my day! So today I went to a very important business meeting in Brantford, Ontario. Brantford is neither exciting nor interesting. On the way there I listened to CBC Radio, which these days tends to always get me angry about some international political issue. Today it was Burma. I am so pissed at Burma, you guys.
The meeting itself was good, but only in the sense that most business meetings are good: it was uninteresting and uneventful. Bad meetings tend to be more interesting than good ones, because people yell and sometimes try to fight each other. Maybe they even use profanity and smash things. It’d be awesome if, one time, they pulled out sticks of dynamite or a japanese sword known as a katana. That did not happen today.
After the meeting I had to drive home from Brantford, which, again, left me with CBC Radio. Things I learned today:
- Diabetes — it’s on the RISE in Canada!
- Polygamy and Muslims in Ontario — it’s misunderstood!
- Gas — it’s so expensive!
- The Doctor who led the SARS fight in Toronto — she died, but not of SARS, so it lacks any amusing irony. It’s mostly just sad, really.
Then I stopped for groceries and watched the police tow away a BMW that had parked illegally right outside the door. Later, when I was paying, the driver finally realized her car was gone and spent several minutes pacing up and down the street in front of the store, as if she was looking for a lost puppy. It was cute.
But anyway: it was hot today. What’s up with that? Instead of ‘spring’, they should call this season summer.
